Donna asked me to follow her stitched lines on the petals & leaves, then quilting a stipple for the background of the flowers, which will 'rag & soften up' as washed.
The pattern is called: "French Roses" by Heather French.

After ditch stitching the borders, next came the pieced first border. Donna really liked the double orange peel I sometimes quilt on smaller pieced squares.
When Donna came to for a consultation, I showed her several samples of border ideas. What really rang true for her was the trapunto border I had on this quilt. This technique takes a fair amount of time, which of course costs more. So I suggested some alternatives which would give similar results.

An echo of the feather, then a medium sized stipple gives a similar look, without hurting your wallet too much! Two layers of batting would have also helped, but again it is an added cost.

She did a great job for her first Leeanne! This pattern is perfect for a first timer. Her colors are great!

I really like how you quilted it as well. The larger stipple works great for the backgrounds. Thanks for sharing your link so I could have a "look-see" on how I could quilt mine!!! I've considered at least one row of echo quilting around the outside of the flowers and leaves. We'll see…...
